I've been hearing praises about Cuccio products for years, but I haven't tried any. Then at the 24. touch of ParisAluna and Nardus presented Cuccio nail care and nail polishes, which got me more interested in this brand. You know how much I love testing nail and cuticle care products so I got myself Cuccio Cuticle Conditioning Butter Stick Pomegranate & Fig. The other one there is is Milk & Honey. Cuccio Cuticle Conditioning Butter Stick comes in 1,6 stylo and retails for about €10. Official website states that Cuccio does not test on animals, but this product contains animal products and is not vegan.

Lovely weather we've had yesterday inspired me to paint my nails with dark shimmery polish. This time my choice was Jessica Notorious, one of three Jessica polishes I have bought when importer gave a substantial discount. Jessica Custom Colours come in 15 ml bottles and they are 3-free.

I was a bit disappointed last year when announcements for winter OPI collection started popping up. Usually winter and fall collections offer many shades that are to my taste, but this time that wasn't the case. The only polish that caught my eye was My Dogsled Is A Hybrid, although I had my doubts about that one as well because it looked too dusty even for my taste. I did get it and I am very glad that I did because it definitely deserves the attention.

Ghoulish Glow is a special effect top coat that I have long wanted to have, but year after year it wouldn't arrive to Serbia. I was hoping that Essence Glow In The Night might be a decent substitute, but I was wrong. And finally we have gotten Ghoulish Glow last year when it came with the rest of Apocalypse of Color collection. It is part of every China Glaze Halloween collection, comes in 14 ml bottle and retails for the same price as regular China Glaze polishes.

I have already mentioned how Morgan Taylor Serbia has had a special offer for February holidays and I have taken that opportunity to shorten my wish list. One of the polishes I have been puting on and taking off my wish list is Truth or Dare - a polish I liked very much, but thought that I had enough similar shades in my stash. It turned out I don't have anything that similar to it. Morgan Taylor polishes are big 3-free and cruelty free. They come in 15 ml bottles and have wide flat brush.

I have waited so long for Zoya Hunter to arrive in Serbian and then I have quite unjustly left it untried for this long. Like other regular Zoya polishes it retails for $9. Zoya polishes come in 15 ml bottles. They don't contain toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and animal products and are not tested on animals.

You may have noticed that I like to decorate my nails in appropriate manner for ChibiCon, Japanizam and other events organised by Sakurabana. Since I am unable to come by some authentic Japanese decorations I hope that these Chinese motifs represent some common elements of eastern art. I have worn these N.Nail water decals that represent ink painting for the last ChibiCons.

I finally have a decent choice of different stampers to do a solid comparison that I hope will help you find the best stamper for your needs and stamping style. All of my stampers come from online retailers and you can find direct links in photo caption (feel free to use my discount codes if you order from KKCenterHK or BPS). KKCenterHK, Born Pretty Sore and E-bay sellers usually carry generic stampers such as mine, but many brands also put their brand name and a higher price tag on such stampers without improving their quality. Some of them also offer different cushions for stampers, which I intend to give a try at some point.

Before OPI Christmas Gone Plaid, Flormar 455 was the nearest thing to my idea of the perfect green polish. It is from Nail Enamel line of Flormar polishes, that come in 11 ml bottles. Jeune Fille has told me that newer version has gotten a name as well as number - Wild Life.

Morgan Taylor Srbija is having a special offer - with each Morgan Taylor polish you buy you can choose another one among 24 preselected MT polishes. I have bought a couple of them and I'd love to show you one of those that were among the gifts. Morgan Taylor polishes are big 3-free and cruelty free. They come in 15 ml bottles and have wide flat brush.

Some shades of Depend polishes have been on 50% discount so one Friday I gave in and got myself a couple - one from Mirage line of polishes and one from regular line. I haven't noticed that one from regular line before, which is unusual as this is a now discontinued shade from 2013. and it is quite unique shade. I don't know how I might have missed it before, but I am glad I did notice it now and I suggest you look for it if possible as it is very unusual shade. Depend polishes come in 5 ml rectangular bottles that are easy to store.

Aura Cosmetics has been trying its hardest to revamp its brand, products range and design and is widening its presence on local and international markets. Among the new products, and there have been quite a few lately, are two oil-based nail polish removers - acetone and non-acetone Color Off, and I have both to show you today.

I continue showing you brighter colours because I miss sunshine and to me these are as good as antidepressants. The one I have prepared for today is one of three Jessica polishes I have bought when importer gave a substantial discount. Jessica Custom Colours come in 15 ml bottles and they are 3-free.

I have revamped my collection last spring and summer by swapping some of my unwanted polishes. That is how Flormar Supershine 41 came into my collection. Supershine line of Flormar polishes now has a different, shorter packaging and some of them have even gotten names. Not this one, though.

This month I concentrated mostly on using untrieds in my collection (particularly stamping plates) and less on buying new stuff, so I don't have that many new items, but I did get some interesting stuff. For starters there are Trind products - you have already seen the polish and I shall review the thinner very soon. Other products that will get a review these days are Aura Color Off nail polish removers. Jelena gifted me one OPI Ford Mustang polish, but I will have to wait for better lighting conditions to take photos of that one. Danijela posted a video about some nail decorations she bought at her local Chinese thrift store so I also gave in and went to a nearby store to get some nail studs. Mirage and regular Depend mini polishes are discounted so I got myself two. We are still waiting for Essence seasonal sales, but these two Essence polishes were already on sale so I got them. The last item on the list is OPI Let's Get Together set. I have nearly used up Avoplex oil so I bought a new bottle, but this is the special offer that comes with OPI glass nail file.

This week the theme for Matching Manicures is tape mani. This sort of manicure is quite convenient because it allows for achieving interesting shapes and crisp lines without much trouble. You only need to make sure the base colour is dry. This time I wanted to try something more complex, but not too complicated and I hope you like the final result.
